Graduate Advising

Filing a Degree Plan

Each student pursuing a graduate degree in the College of Arts and Sciences is expected
to file a degree plan with the academic department during the first semester. This
degree plan outlines your program of study and becomes the basis for conferring of
the degree when the plan is successfully completed. A student may not graduate without
an approved degree plan on file.

The degree plan form, available in the academic department, must be completed in consultation
with the student's academic advisor and the department chair, and must be approved
by the college's graduate coordinator. Any changes in the degree plan must be approved
by the advisor, department chair and the graduate coordinator.
